Alcinous was the father of Nausicaa, Halius, Clytoneus, and Laodamas. Alcinous and his wife, Arete, live on an island named Drepane. This is the island that Jason and the Argonauts visited after their adventures on the land of Colchis - where he stole the Golden Fleece from. The Colchian army demanded Medea, but it was Alcinous who said that she would only go back with them if she were still a virgin; if not, she was Jason's wife, and he (Alcinous) would be forced to protect the couple. The army went home. Alcinous is also one of the rulers who Odysseus tells his tales to. IN MY OPINION Alcinoos in your chart can represent a) where you protect couples, b) where you might be protecting the wrong people, c) where you take in strangers, and/or d) where you listen to others.
i encourage you to look into the aspects of alcinoos along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of alcinoos AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede alcinoos!
